Parental Controls

Applies to Windows 7

You can keep track of your kids' PC use with Parental Controls—watch this video to see how. (0:54)

In Windows 7 you can set limits on your kids' computer use—and help them be safer online—without constantly peeking over their shoulders.

Parental Controls helps you limit how much computer time children have, as well as which programs and games they can use (and perhaps more importantly, when). With the Parental Controls in Windows Media Center, you can also block access to objectionable TV shows and movies.
